Chapter 1109: Chapter 1100 Family Conflict (4)
This has gotten interesting. Xia Siyu initially thought it was just some outside gossip. Now it seems, this gossip might be quite juicy, perhaps even getting Bo Yan another brother.
In the dead of winter, it’s not even summer, when the heat suppresses the appetite, and she’s eating sour things. Xia Siyu looks at her matching outfit again; indeed, because the waist is a bit loose, some commentators have dubbed it “maternity wear.”
But she wore this outfit just out of the spokesperson’s instinct, never thought it might indeed be needed by a pregnant woman.
Recalling the pair of little boots she saw yesterday, they were indeed flat-soled.
But isn’t this a bit too fast? Could it be? Even if the two hooked up at the 80th birthday banquet, it’s only been half a year. Half a year… and there it is?
This half-year, Li Yiru has indeed kept a low profile. Since “Flowers and Grass,” she’s been joining film sets, but not any particularly good projects, and hasn’t landed a leading role. As her exposure rate decreased, she gradually faded into obscurity.
Of course, it might not be true; maybe it’s just an upset stomach, or her taste has changed. It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a baby. After all, a female artist of the right age, on her way up, getting married and pregnant is already quite a self-sacrifice. How could she possibly tolerate being the other woman?
Although Bo Qiliu has the good looks inherent in the Bo Family, not looking bad, free from the greasy feel of middle-aged men, and maintains his figure well—you wouldn’t know he’s almost 60 by looking at him. But still, he already has a grandson nearly born, and his son is over thirty. With Li Yiru? A patron’s favor is one thing, but if she’s pregnant, what was she thinking?
The Bo Family’s inheritance is harsh; it’s not like having Bo Family blood guarantees wealth. Wasn’t Bo Yan always pushed aside? Bo Yi is already confirmed to have secured the next seat, unless he recklessly engages in illegal activities, or suddenly collapses the company. Otherwise, when it comes to inheritance, Bo Yan won’t get any, let alone an illegitimate child with no standing?
So it should still be nothing, right?
Xia Siyu and Bo Yan exchanged glances, neither in the mood for a walk anymore, quietly headed back home.
As they were nearing home, Bo Yi saw Xia Siyu with a stern face walking briskly towards the house, while Bo Yan was chasing after her without calling out. By the looks of it, it seemed the two had a big argument, and Xia Siyu was still fuming, leaving Bo Yan uneasy to comfort her.
Once they got home, Xia Siyu dashed straight to her room without a word. Bo Yan followed closely, locking the bedroom door once inside.
Just then, Xia Sicai came out and noticed his husband’s strange expression, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just watching the drama unfold,” Bo Yi replied with a cheerful smile, oblivious to the fact that while watching the drama, he had already become part of it.
Xia Siyu stormed back in like a whirlwind, and after Bo Yan closed the door, she even helped close the window. Thinking it was not secure, she motioned Bo Yan to the bathroom and shut the door there too. Then, all the words she was holding back came rushing out in one go: “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! This is way too explosive. Is she really pregnant?”
Bo Yan remained calm: “If she is, so what? It’s just another brother.”
